On the ledge of a window of an apartment building, a young woman was shockingly sitting there.

Upon seeing this scene, Ding Lan couldn’t help but shrink her pupils in fright, feeling a chill all over, "This girl wouldn’t be trying to..."

"Ladies and gentlemen, I’m a police officer, does anyone know what’s happening with her!"

Gu Ji didn’t pick up on her words but directly flashed his police badge from his pocket, questioning the bystanders who were watching.

Hearing the word "police," curiosity immediately spurred everyone to gather around.

Everyone was speaking at once.

"Just about seven or eight minutes ago, I noticed a woman sitting at the window upstairs, her legs hanging outside. Oh dear, it’s terrifying..."

"I know! Officer, I know!"

Before the woman finished her sentence, a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses interrupted, "I just heard her shouting something about a ’jerk,’ she must be heartbroken by a man, that’s why she’s trying to commit suicide!"

"Oh my, young people these days, really..."

"Is there anyone in charge here? Have you called the police? When will the fire brigade and ambulance arrive? Has the family been informed?"

Once it was confirmed that the woman upstairs indeed had suicidal tendencies, Gu Ji stopped arguing with the bystanders and shouted loudly, searching for the person in charge of the apartment building.

"I, I am, Mr. Gu, I’m the property manager of this apartment building."

At this moment, a young man in a black suit with slicked-back hair came running over hastily.

"We reported the incident to the police as soon as we discovered the problem and also called the fire brigade. But the fire brigade said there’s a traffic jam on the way, it might take about 20 minutes. To prevent any accidents, our property manager took two security guards upstairs to try to persuade her. As for the ambulance and her family, we..."

"Ding Lan, call the ambulance immediately, say there’s someone attempting suicide by jumping from the building."

"Oh, okay!"

Ding Lan was still seriously listening to Gu Ji’s questions when she suddenly heard him calling her name and reacted immediately, hurriedly pulling out her phone.

"20 minutes..."

Gu Ji slightly raised his eyebrows.

Now it’s Friday evening, the rush hour, and this is a bustling city center area, so traffic jams are to be expected.

He glanced again at the target on the upper floor.

At this moment, the woman seemed to be suddenly provoked and shouted "Get lost!" loudly, startling the onlookers below the building.

Seeing more and more bystanders gathering to watch, many of them started taking pictures with their phones.

If this drags on, it might further stimulate the target, increasing the chance of an accident.

"Two, four, eight, fourteen... Is there anyone in the control room now?"

Gu Ji’s eyes quickly scanned the levels of the building.

A simple question confused the apartment property manager, "Control room?"

"It’s the fire control room. The apartment building is a public place; it can’t be without a control room. They’re usually located on the ground floor or basement level, connected to the safety exits."

Seeing the manager’s dazed expression, Gu Ji knew this was probably a half-baked manager, so he quickly explained.

"Oh, I think I remember, there is someone in the control room, in the first basement, along with the parking lot. Mr. Gu, you’re asking this because..."

"The situation is urgent, the target can be in danger at any time. Contact your property manager for me, I’m trying to find a way to save her. Get the control room to send the safety rope, and also disperse the onlookers in the apartment. It’s very dangerous down here, no one should get close."

Gu Ji’s eyes darted around, "It would be best to gather some branches and thick quilts or other soft, fluffy things here to prevent any mishap."

"Alright, alright, I’ll arrange it right away."

The property manager agreed readily and immediately picked up the walkie-talkie, giving orders as instructed, then handed the walkie-talkie over, "Mr. Gu, it’s Mr. Sun, our manager."

"Is that Mr. Sun? How’s the target situation upstairs now?"

"Mr. Gu, the woman is extremely emotional right now. No matter how I try to persuade her, she won’t come down, let alone let us get close. The moment a security guard takes a step, she turns and shouts. We dare not push too hard, so..."

The voice of the property manager through the walkie-talkie sounded full of sighs, showing he was indeed at his wit’s end.

"I heard she’s emotionally distressed. Have you tried contacting her family or boyfriend?"

"The problem is, we don’t know about her family or social situation..."

"Quick look! The police are here!"

While Gu Ji was listening to the property manager, someone suddenly shouted among the crowd, and when he looked over, he saw a white police car pulling up at the roadside.

The car door opened, and three police officers got out.

The team leader looked about thirty to forty years old, as strong as a bear, appearing to be an experienced old officer, followed by two young officers.

"Hello, this is Wang Hongwei from Zhengyang Street Police Station, Lougu District Branch. Who’s the one who reported the incident, Mr. Chen?" The bear-like officer showed his badge while looking up to observe the situation upstairs.

"That’s me!"

The property manager hurried over.

But before he could continue speaking, Gu Ji stepped forward, once again showing his credentials, "Gu Ji, SWAT officer from the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team at the City Bureau. I’ve basically understood the situation on the spot..."

He then organized his words, succinctly summarizing the situation on the scene and, at the same time, expressed his intention to save her. He suggested Wang Hongwei quickly contact the target’s family and boyfriend, using familial bonds and love to try and buy time.
